Family Business Legacy Series: After the Sale

Please join our expert panel of family business owners as they discuss the effects and consequences on the family in the sale of the family business. Our presenters include Steve Gordon, CEO of Gordon Trucking (sold in 2013), Corry McFarland, CEO of McFarland Cascade (sold in 2012), Steve Loeb, CEO of Alaska Distributers (sold in 2008), and Brett Brinton, CEO who was involved with his father in the sale of one family business (Wasser) and the formation with his brother of another (Zonar).

The topics to be discussed will include why the business was sold, how the family reacted/responded to the sale and what happened to the family after the sale.In the meantime, please visit the Family Business Resource Center.

Please feel free to invite other family business members to the program if you think they would find it of interest. However, please note that the Legacy Series is intended for family business owners and operators only.
